The volume of fluid (VOF) method is a popular approach for multiphase flow modeling. The open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM, implements a variety of VOF-based solvers and provides users a wide range of…
We present a hybrid Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) Phase-Field method for general soluble surfactant-laden interfacial flows. The scheme retains the VoF method for interface tracking and momentum solution, while a diffused Phase-Field serves as a…
One of the prevailing challenges in Computational Fluid Dynamics is accurate simulation of two-phase flows involving heat and mass transfer across the fluid interface. This is currently an active field of research, which is to some extend…
